Explanation:
The diagram provided is a Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) diagram, a key tool in Value Methodology’s Function Analysis phase, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #2). FAST diagrams map the relationships between functions of a system, with specific directions indicating the logic of the functions:
The horizontal axis represents the “how-why” logic (critical path), where moving left answers “why” and moving right answers “how.”
The vertical axis represents the “when” direction, indicating functions that occur simultaneously or continuously while the critical path functions are performed (e.g., all-the-time functions, as noted in Question 27).
According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, “in a FAST diagram, the ‘when’ direction is shown by vertical relationships, indicating functions that are concurrent or supporting the critical path.” In the diagram:
The critical path (horizontal, marked by Y in Question 3) runs from E to F to G to J to L to M to N to O.
Scope lines are labeled B (left) and D (right), as identified in Question 30.
Vertical arrows (e.g., Z in Question 3, pointing to J-K) indicate the “when” direction, showing functions that occur simultaneously with the critical path functions.
A is a horizontal line at the bottom of the diagram, but in FAST diagramming, the vertical axis (and its bounding lines) is associated with the “when” direction. The options (A, B, C, D) include A as the bottom horizontal line, which, in some FAST diagram interpretations, can be seen as marking the boundary of the “when” direction (vertical relationships).
C (noted in Question 30) is an arrow pointing left, representing the “why” direction, not “when.”
Given the options, A is the closest representation of the “when” direction, as it aligns with the vertical axis’s boundary, which defines the space where “when” relationships (simultaneous functions) are shown. In standard FAST diagramming, the “when” direction is vertical, and A, as the bottom horizontal line, frames the vertical space where these relationships are depicted (e.g., S, T, U, K).
Option A (A) is correct, as it represents the boundary of the vertical axis, which is associated with the “when” direction in FAST diagrams.
Option B (B) is incorrect because B is a scope line (left vertical), which defines the study’s boundary, not the “when” direction.
Option C (C) is incorrect because C is an arrow indicating the “why” direction (left), not “when.”
Option D (D) is incorrect because D is the right scope line, not related to the “when” direction.
SAVE International, VMF 1 Core Competency #2 (Function Analysis), defining the “when” direction in FAST diagrams as vertical, indicating simultaneous functions.

Explanation:
The Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) diagram is a key tool in Value Methodology’s Function Analysis phase, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #2). The function logic path in a FAST diagram is the horizontal sequence of functions, often referred to as the critical path (as identified in Question 3 with arrow Y). According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, “the function logic path in a FAST diagram follows a How-Why logic: moving to the right answers ‘how’ a function is performed, and
moving to the left answers ‘why’ a function exists.” This logic helps trace the relationships between functions, starting from the higher-order function (e.g., Function E, as noted in Question 18) on the left to more specific functions on the right (e.g., Function O).
How : Moving right along the path (e.g., from E to F to G) explains how the preceding function is achieved.
Why : Moving left (e.g., from O to N to M) explains why the succeeding function is needed.
In the diagram, the critical path (E-F-G-J-L-M-N-O) follows this How-Why logic, as confirmed in earlier questions (e.g., Question 3). The “when” direction (vertical, as noted in Question 36) and “and-or” logic (used at junctions for concurrent or alternative functions) are not the primary logic of the function logic path.
Option A (When-Why logic) is incorrect because the “when” direction is vertical, indicating simultaneous functions, not the horizontal logic path.
Option B (How-Why logic) is correct, as it matches the standard logic of the function logic path in a FAST diagram.
Option C (How-When logic) is incorrect because the “when” direction does not apply to the horizontal logic path.
Option D (And-Or logic) is incorrect because “and-or” logic applies to junctions (e.g., gates for concurrent or alternative functions), not the main logic path.

Explanation:
In Value Methodology, cost analysis often involves evaluating the economic impact of alternatives over time, which requires understanding the time value of money. The VMF 1 course, under Core Competency #4 (Cost Analysis), includes financial concepts like discounting cash flows to assess long-term value. The concept of converting all costs to a common reference point in today’s dollars refers to Present Worth (or Net Present Value, NPV) . According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, Present Worth (or NPV) is used to “evaluate the economic feasibility of alternatives by discounting future cash flows to their present value, accounting for the time value of money.” This process converts all costs and benefits (adjusted for time, value, and money) to a single value in today’s dollars using a discount rate, allowing for a fair comparison of alternatives.
Option A (Return on Investment or ROI) is incorrect because ROI measures profitability as a percentage and does not convert costs to a present value.
Option B (Present Worth or Net Present Value) is correct because NPV accounts for the effects of time, value, and money by discounting future cash flows to today’s dollars.
Option C (Discount Rate) is incorrect because the discount rate is the rate used in NPV calculations, not the method of converting costs itself.
Option D (Simple Payback or Breakeven Point) is incorrect because payback measures the time to recover an investment and does not account for the time value of money or convert costs to present value.

Explanation:
The diagram provided is a Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) diagram, a key tool in Value Methodology’s Function Analysis phase, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #2). In FAST diagramming, the “Subject Objective” refers to the overarching goal or need that the system addresses, often aligned with the higher-order function or an external objective outside the study’s scope. According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, “the Subject Objective is typically the highest-level objective for which the subject scope exists, often located to the left of the left scope line, representing an external goal or assumption.” This aligns with the definition of a higher-order function but extends to the external context.
In the FAST diagram:
The scope lines are labeled B (left) and D (right), as identified in Question 30.
The critical path (horizontal) runs from E to F to G to J to L to M to N to O, with E being the higher-order function just inside the left scope line.
Functions P, Q, and R are to the left of the left scope line (B), indicating they are outside the study’s scope and represent external objectives or assumptions.
Function O is the rightmost function on the critical path, inside the scope, representing a specific outcome, not the Subject Objective.
The Subject Objective is the broadest external goal, often the “why” behind the higher-order function (E). Among P, Q, and R, Function P is the leftmost, directly to the left of the left scope line (B), making it the most likely candidate for the Subject Objective, as it represents the ultimate external goal driving the system (e.g., a customer need like “enhance security” for a door system).
Option A (Function P) is correct, as it is to the left of the left scope line, aligning with the definition of a Subject Objective.
Option B (Function Q) is incorrect because Q is further to the left but not as directly tied to the scope line as P, which is the primary external objective.
Option C (Function R) is incorrect for the same reason as Q; it is external but not the primary Subject Objective.
Option D (Function O) is incorrect because O is inside the scope, on the critical path, representing a specific outcome, not the Subject Objective.
SAVE International, VMF 1 Core Competency #2 (Function Analysis), defining the Subject Objective as the external goal to the left of the scope line in FAST diagrams.

Explanation:
In Value Methodology, value is defined as the relationship between function and cost (value = function/cost), and different types of value are analyzed to assess worth, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #4: Cost Analysis). According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, the types of value include:
Cost Value : “The sum of labor, material, overhead, and other resources required to produce the subject.” It represents the actual cost to create or deliver the product or system.
Use Value : The value of the functions the subject performs (e.g., what it does for the user).
Esteem Value : The value associated with prestige, aesthetics, or desirability (e.g., brand value).
Exchange Value : The value of the subject in terms of what it can be exchanged for (e.g., market value).
The question asks for the type of value that is the sum of labor, material, and other resources, which directly matches the definition of Cost Value . For example, the cost value of a car includes the costs of its parts, labor to assemble it, and overhead expenses.
Option A (Esteem Value) is incorrect because esteem value relates to subjective desirability, not production costs.
Option B (Exchange Value) is incorrect because exchange value is the market value, not the cost to produce.
Option C (Use Value) is incorrect because use value reflects the functional utility, not the resource costs.
Option D (Cost Value) is correct, as it is defined as the sum of resources required to produce the subject.
SAVE International, “Value Methodology Standard and Body of Knowledge,” available athttps://www.value-eng.org, defining Cost Value as the sum of production resources.

Explanation:
In the context of Value Methodology, cost analysis often involves financial concepts to evaluate the economic impact of alternatives, including understanding the time value of money. The VMF 1 course, under Core Competency #4 (Cost Analysis), includes basic financial metrics relevant to value studies, such as discounting cash flows to assess long-term value. The nominal rate of increase in the value of money over time, after subtracting for inflation, refers to the real discount rate . In financial terms, as per standard economic principles taught in VMF 1, the discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows to their present value, and the real discount rate is the nominal discount rate adjusted for inflation (i.e., real discount rate = nominal discount rate # inflation rate). This measures the true increase in the value of money over time, excluding inflationary effects.
Option A (Simple Payback or Breakeven Point) is incorrect because payback measures the time required to recover an investment, not the rate of increase in money’s value.
Option B (Return on Investment or ROI) is incorrect because ROI measures the profitability of an investment as a percentage, not the rate of increase in money’s value over time.
Option C (Discount Rate) is correct because the real discount rate, after subtracting inflation, defines the nominal rate of increase in the value of money over time, as used in financial analyses within VM studies.
Option D (Present Worth or Net Present Value) is incorrect because NPV is the result of discounting future cash flows to their present value using a discount rate, not the rate itself.

Explanation:
The Pareto Principle, often referred to as the 80/20 rule, is a concept used in Value Methodology to focus efforts on the most impactful areas during cost analysis. In the context of VM, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #4: Cost Analysis), the Pareto Principle is applied to identify high-cost areas that offer the greatest potential for value improvement. According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, “the Pareto Principle in VM states that approximately 20% of the elements (components, functions, or items) typically account for 80% of the total cost.” This allows the VM team to prioritize their efforts on the small number of elements that drive the majority of the cost, thereby maximizing value improvement (function /cost). For example, in a project, a few components (like a specialized motor in a machine) might represent the bulk of the cost, and optimizing those components can yield significant savings.
Option A (20% of risks impact 80% of elements) is incorrect because the Pareto Principle in VM focuses on cost distribution, not risk impact.
Option B (20% of elements represent 80% of the cost) is correct, as it directly aligns with the application of the Pareto Principle in VM cost analysis.
Option C (80% of functions represent 20% of components) is incorrect because it reverses the principle and does not reflect the cost-focused application in VM.
Option D (80% of the whole includes 20% of the resources) is incorrect because it misapplies the principle and is too vague for VM’s specific use of Pareto in cost analysis.
SAVE International, “Value Methodology Standard and Body of Knowledge,” available athttps://www.value-eng.org, section on cost analysis, referencing the Pareto Principle for identifying high-cost elements.

Explanation:
The Value Methodology (VM) Job Plan, as outlined in the VMF 1 course and SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, consists of six phases, one of which is the Evaluation Phase, where the VM team selects viable ideas. In the Evaluation Phase, the team assesses ideas generated during the Creative Phase to determine their feasibility, cost impact, and alignment with project goals. According to the VMF 1 Core Competency #3 (Value Methodology Job Plan), the Evaluation Phase involves “evaluating the ideas for their potential to improve value, using criteria such as cost savings, performance, quality, and feasibility, to select the most viable alternatives for further development.” Tools like weighted evaluation matrices may be used to rank ideas systematically.
Option A (Function Analysis) is incorrect because this phase focuses on identifying and analyzing functions, not selecting ideas.
Option B (Presentation) is incorrect because this phase involves communicating recommendations to stakeholders, after ideas have already been selected and developed.
Option C (Evaluation) is correct, as it is the phase where the VM team filters and selects viable ideas based on defined criteria.
Option D (Development) is incorrect because this phase involves refining selected ideas into actionable proposals, which happens after the Evaluation Phase.

D. Miles (the founder of Value Engineering /Value Methodology), focuses on advancing the field of Value Methodology. According to SAVE International’s documentation, the Miles Value Foundation’s primary purpose is to “promote education and research in Value Methodology to expand its application and understanding globally.” The Foundation supports initiatives like scholarships, educational resources, and outreach to increase awareness and knowledge of VM, aligning with its mission to promote VM education.
Option A (Improve VM programs) is incorrect because the Foundation’s focus is on education and research, not directly improving specific VM programs, which is more the role of organizations like SAVE International.
Option B (Manage VM certification) is incorrect because VM certification is managed by SAVE International, not the Miles Value Foundation.
Option C (Promote VM education) is correct, as it directly aligns with the Foundation’s mission to advance VM through education and research.
Option D (Conduct VM training) is incorrect because, while the Foundation may support training indirectly, its primary role is promoting education, not directly conducting training programs.

Explanation:
Value Methodology (VM) is defined by SAVE International in its Value Methodology Standard as “a systematic process that uses a structured Job Plan to improve the value of projects, products, or processes by analyzing their functions and identifying opportunities to achieve required functions at the lowest total cost without compromising quality or performance” (as noted in Question 23). The VMF 1 course (Core Competency #1: Value Methodology Overview) highlights three main characteristics that define VM:
Systematic process : VM follows a methodical, step-by-step approach (the VM Job Plan) to ensure consistency and effectiveness.
Multidisciplinary team : VM studies are conducted by a diverse team with varied expertise to bring different perspectives (as emphasized in Question 24).
Qualified VM facilitator : A facilitator trained in VM (often, but not always, a Certified Value Specialist) ensures the process is applied correctly and the team achieves optimal results.
While a Certified Value Specialist (CVS) is often involved, the broader characteristic is a qualified VM facilitator, as not all studies require a CVS (as noted in Question 4).
Option A (Systematic process, function analysis, CVS) is incorrect because, while systematic process and function analysis are key, a CVS is not a defining characteristic; a qualified facilitator is more broadly applicable.
Option B (Function Analysis, brainstorming, teamwork) is incorrect because these are components or activities within VM, not the main characteristics that define the methodology.
Option C (Systematic process, multidisciplinary team, qualified VM facilitator) is correct, as it captures the three core characteristics of VM per SAVE International’s standards.
Option D (Multidisciplinary team, cost reduction, function improvement) is incorrect because cost reduction and function improvement are outcomes of VM, not defining characteristics; the systematic process and facilitation are more fundamental.

The Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) diagram is a key tool in Value Methodology’s Function Analysis phase, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #2). FAST diagrams map the relationships between functions, with the horizontal axis showing the “how-why” logic (critical path) and the vertical axis showing supporting functions. The vertical demarcations on the left and right of a FAST diagram are called Scope Lines , as they define the boundaries of the study. According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, “Scope Lines indicate the limits of the system or project being analyzed, separating the functions within the study’s scope from external functions or assumptions.” In the FAST diagram provided earlier, these lines are the dashed vertical lines labeled B and D, marking the boundaries of the study’ s focus.
Option A (Subject Lines) is incorrect because this term is not used in FAST diagramming.
Option B (Scope Lines) is correct, as it matches the official terminology for the vertical demarcations in a FAST diagram.
Option C (When Direction Lines) is incorrect because the “when” direction refers to vertical connections within the diagram (simultaneous functions), not the boundary lines.
Option D (Function Logic Lines) is incorrect because function logic refers to the arrows connecting functions, not the boundary demarcations.

Explanation:
A Value Methodology (VM) study is a core concept in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #1: Value Methodology Overview). According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, a VM study is defined as “a structured effort by a multidisciplinary team using the Value Methodology to identify the functions of a project or process, establish a worth for each function, and develop alternatives to achieve those functions at the lowest overall cost while maintaining performance.” This definition emphasizes the structured nature of the VM Job Plan, the use of a multidisciplinary team (as noted in Question 24), and the focus on improving value through systematic analysis. This aligns with the description in Question 4, where a VM study was described as a structured effort using the VM process, but here the emphasis on a multidisciplinary team is key.
Option A (An analysis of a completed project design by a VM team) is incorrect because VM studies are not limited to completed designs; they can be applied at any stage of the project lifecycle, with the greatest impact early on (as noted in Questions 21 and 25).
Option B (An improvement process similar to Lean Six Sigma) is incorrect because, while VM shares goals with Lean Six Sigma (e.g., improving efficiency), it is a distinct methodology focused on function analysis and value optimization, not process variation reduction.
Option C (A workshop that applies the VM facilitated by a CVS) is incorrect because, while VM studies are often conducted as workshops and may be facilitated by a Certified Value Specialist (CVS), a CVS is not required (as clarified in Question 4), and “workshop” is too narrow a description for a VM study.
Option D (A structured effort by a multidisciplinary team using the VM) is correct, as it best captures the essence of a VM study per SAVE International’s definition, emphasizing the structured process and multidisciplinary team.

The Creativity Phase (also known as the Creative Phase) of the Value Methodology (VM) Job Plan focuses on generating a large quantity of ideas, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #6: Creative Thinking and Idea Generation). According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, “the Creativity Phase follows ground rules to foster divergent thinking, including: applying the Principle of Deferred Judgment (no criticism of ideas), establishing an ambitious goal for the number of ideas (to maximize quantity), and encouraging ‘Free-Wheeling’ of ideas (welcoming wild or unconventional ideas).” These rules were partially addressed in Question 10, where ground rules like encouraging openness, freewheeling, and recording good ideas were confirmed, aligning with the focus on quantity over quality during this phase.
A. Apply the "Principle of Deferred Judgment" : Correct, as this ensures no ideas are criticized during brainstorming, fostering creativity.
B. Establish an ambitious goal for the number of ideas : Correct, as setting a high target (e.g., 100 ideas) encourages the team to generate many ideas, focusing on quantity.
C. Emphasize cost savings : Incorrect, as cost savings are considered in the Evaluation and Development Phases, not during Creativity, where the focus is on idea generation without judgment.
D. Encourage "Free-Wheeling" of ideas : Correct, as freewheeling (allowing wild, unconventional ideas) is a standard brainstorming rule in VM to maximize creativity.
E. Emphasize quality rather than quantity : Incorrect, as the Creativity Phase prioritizes quantity over quality; quality is assessed later in the Evaluation Phase (as noted in Question 49).

Explanation:
Cost analysis in Value Methodology often involves financial techniques to evaluate the economic feasibility of alternatives, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #4: Cost Analysis). According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, “the time value of money is essential in costing techniques that account for costs and benefits over time, such as Life Cycle Cost (LCC).” Life Cycle Cost is defined as “the total cost of a system or product over its entire life, including acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposal, discounted to present value using the time value of money.” The time value of money ensures that future costs and benefits are adjusted to their present value using a discount rate (as noted in Questions 6 and 7), making LCC a comprehensive method for comparing alternatives in VM studies.
Option A (Return on Investment) is incorrect because, while ROI can consider the time value of money in some calculations, it is not essential; ROI is often calculated as a simple percentage (Profit ÷ Investment).
Option B (Life Cycle Cost) is correct, as LCC inherently requires the time value of money to discount future costs to present value, ensuring a fair comparison over the project’s life.
Option C (Simple Payback) is incorrect because simple payback (as calculated in Question 26) does not account for the time value of money; it simply divides the initial investment by annual savings.
Option D (Break-even point) is incorrect because the break-even point (similar to payback) typically does not incorporate the time value of money; it focuses on the point where costs equal revenues.

Risk management is a critical aspect of Implementation Planning in Value Methodology (VM), ensuring that VM proposals are feasible and sustainable, as taught in the VMF 1 course (Core Competency #8: Implementation Planning). According to SAVE International’s Value Methodology Standard, risk management in the context of VM follows a standard process aligned with project management best practices, such as those in the Project Management Institute (PMI) framework, which VM adopts for implementation.
The correct order of steps in risk management is:
Risk Management Planning : Define how risks will be managed, including methodologies, roles, and tools.
Risk Identification : Identify potential risks that could impact the VM study or its implementation (e.g., cost overruns, delays).
Risk Analysis : Analyze the likelihood and impact of identified risks (qualitative and quantitative analysis).
Risk Response Planning : Develop strategies to mitigate, avoid, transfer, or accept risks.
Risk Monitoring and Control : Monitor risks throughout implementation and control them as needed.
The VMF 1 course emphasizes this sequence in the Development and Presentation Phases, where risks associated with VM proposals are assessed and mitigated to ensure successful implementation. This order ensures a systematic approach, starting with planning, followed by identification and analysis, then response planning, and finally monitoring.
Option A (Risk Management Planning, Risk Analysis, Risk Identification, Risk Response Planning, Risk Monitoring and Control) is incorrect because Risk Identification must precede Risk Analysis― you cannot analyze risks before identifying them.
Option B (Risk Identification, Risk Management Planning, Risk Analysis, Risk Response Planning, Risk Monitoring and Control) is incorrect because Risk Management Planning must come first to establish the framework for the process.
Option C (Risk Management Planning, Risk Identification, Risk Analysis, Risk Response Planning, Risk Monitoring and Control) is correct, as it follows the standard risk management process.
Option D (Risk Management Planning, Risk Identification, Risk Response Planning, Risk Analysis, Risk Monitoring and Control) is incorrect because Risk Analysis must precede Risk Response Planning to inform the response strategies.
